Drunk guys allegedly steal penguin from Sea World Australia

Three young men face charges after allegedly breaking into an Australian aquarium after dark, swimming with the dolphins and taking a penguin home with them, Reuters reported.

Police tracked down the suspects, ages 18, 20 and 21, after they posted on Facebook about their aquatic animal antics. The trio, thought to be drunk at the time, was charged with “trespassing, stealing and unlawfully keeping a protected animal.”

They have since turned over videos of them in the park and in their apartment with the penguin the next day to Australian station 7 News.

According to the news clip, the guys panicked when they realized what had happened the night before and released the penguin into the wild instead of returning it to Sea World (a Queensland park that is not affiliated with the U.S. SeaWorld). The animal was rescued and eventually made it back safely.
